What a fecking waste of time. Play those extra 30 mins for nothing.

Absolutely appalling throughout the game. Created nothing and deserved nothing. feck winning the possession stats

Disgrace of a performance, I usually try to see positives even when we lose but this was appalling. Rooney, Memphis need to be on the bench and Carrick is finished.

Shocking performance - couldn't control the game, couldn't create any chances except for firing at Fellaini, couldn't finish them and shit penalties. Shocking performance from the ref too who gave it all for a Middlesbrough win.

Quality attacking performance. Moved the ball crisply and with great invention. Controlled the game from start to finish and missed 3 penalties. Very unlucky not to score 7/8 in the end but we've all got our health. Let's take the positives and move on

Time for the old guard to leave, I think. Couldn't cut it against Championship opposition.

That being said, I have no idea how we lost this game. Could've had 5 in the last few minutes of ET.

We really only had a go after 65-70 minutes of the match when we upped the intensity.

Other than that it was sideways passing philosophy again.

Ashley Young taking a penalty? He's missed his last 5 or 6 ffs
Wayne Rooney....A disgrace. Big ego, taking the armband at HT. A Steven Gerrard move if ever there was one. A shambles.

The whole thing, a shambles! I could go on but, there'll be others here who'll say it better than me

Btw, @bosnian_red @Samid @Pexbo .....Wish I had put a bet on now :D

The only penalty was scored by a 19 year old who was also the only one who went left of the keeper.

Reminded me of that Sunderland semi-final under Moyes. We looked like a bunch of clowns.

Must agree though, it's a weird one, even though we lost I still thought it was quite entertaining?

It was like watching a really shit sitcom, that you know isnt funny yet you still laugh?

I kind of resent having wasted over two hours of my life watching that utter shite. Van Gaal has taken almost any joy out of watching Manchester United to the point where even on Sunday when I missed the first ten minutes trying to find a stream I cared very little.

We missed all our chances. Romero had to save our asses a number of times. Creativity, once again, wasn't really there, we created our best opportunities when Boro were dead on their feet.

Rooney... depressing as feck. Was Wilson injured? If it was a tactical move, then I'm speechless. If Wilson was injured... still not the right move.

Depay's getting worse, actually. Worrying but he of course still has time. Or should have, anyway.

The penalties were an accurate reflection of our play. Couldn't hit a barn door. Very few of those that played tonight deserve to wear the red shirt again. Very few.

Ratings tonight will be awful. Not even Pereira will get over a 7 from me. Diabolical stuff.

Martial was our best player all night. We're just zombie-like.

Judging by how shite we were at shooting outside the box, we had no chance at penalties :lol:
